Compass Case The case for the issue compass was identical to the Ammunition Pouch issued with revolvers, with the exception of being lined with felt and stiffened, so as to protect the compass from damage. It could be attached to the belt via the metal hooks. There were two cloth loops also, the upper loop allowed the brace attachment or brace to be passed through vertically; the bottom loop was designed for attachment to the metal hooks on the top of the pistol case. The pistol case could then be attached to the compass case (itself attached to the waistbelt) rather than directly to the waistbelt itself. Inside this case were parts of a rifle cleaning kit with this compass case. There was no compass inside.
